Making the call

Is The KS2 Right For You?

Read both. The second list is the one that saves people money.

Choose the KS2 if

  • You want this to be the last piano you buy for a while
  • You want more bass without stepping into professional-weight territory
  • Grades are coming and the player has outgrown a small instrument

Look at something else if

  • Your ceiling or wall space is genuinely tight
  • There is no service lift and the staircase has awkward turns
Sound and size

What The KS2 Sounds Like

Fuller in the bass than a starter piano without turning into a big instrument. That balance is the whole reason this size exists.

Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 7 cm shorter and 20 kg lighter. Middling for weight in a range that spans 160 kg to 270 kg.

Kawai voicing runs warmer than Yamaha at the same size, particularly up top. People who practise for hours tend to prefer it. There is no right answer here. Both are on the floor, so try them back to back.

Room and access

Will it get in?

  • Space: about 1.6 m of wall
  • Floor: roughly 1.0 m²
  • Case width 150 cm, depth 59 cm
  • Access: Lift preferred

200 kg is normal for this size. Access matters more than the number does. At 59 cm front to back it is one of the shallower cases in the range, which is worth knowing if the hallway it has to pass through is narrow.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

Every Kawai we sell has been through a full restoration in Japan and a second rebuild in Selangor. The second one matters most, because by then the piano has been through a humidity change we can actually see the effects of.

The piano heater that comes with it is not a gimmick. In a damp house, run on a timer, it is the cheapest maintenance you will do.

Our rent-to-own programme

Rent First. The Rent Becomes Credit.

Renting first is the low-risk way in. Nothing you pay is wasted, because it counts toward buying the piano later.

Where The KS2 Sits In The Range

The first generation of Kawai uprights, and the line the later series grew out of. Many left the factory with two pedals and have had a third fitted during restoration.

Questions

Kawai No. KS2: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai No. KS2?

125 cm tall, 150 cm wide, 59 cm deep, and about 200 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a KS2 fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 200 kg is normal for this size. Access matters more than the number does. Give us the measurements and the access and we will be straight about whether it works.

Is a used KS2 a safe buy?

Every Kawai we sell has been through a full restoration in Japan and a second rebuild in Selangor. The second one matters most, because by then the piano has been through a humidity change we can actually see the effects of. There is a five-year warranty behind it, and we are the ones who service it.

Can I rent a KS2 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a KS2 specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.

Do you have a KS2 in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. If we do not have one, we will say so and tell you what is close on size and weight.

How often does a KS2 need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. The piano heater that comes with it is not a gimmick. In a damp house, run on a timer, it is the cheapest maintenance you will do. We include the two tunings it needs after moving.
